Graduate IT positions available

Demand for graduate IT workers remains strong despite the economic downturn, according to new research.

A study carried out by IT Jobs in the City has indicated that opportunities for security workers, analysts, web developers and system support remain available in the employment sector.

Adam Stokes, operations manager at IT Jobs in the City, said despite the economic "gloom", demand still existed for IT workers.

He added: "Providing IT support for compliance projects such as MiFID, as well as support within risk management will be critical over the coming months.

"IT workers within the City are seen as a valuable resource, and we dont expect that to change."

Last week it was claimed that knowledge and skills are something employers look for when recruiting management staff.

Computer Weekly reported how Nick Folkes, IT director and UK head of infrastructure and operations at Tesco, said he believed technology awareness was something which can benefit all aspects of an organisation.
